The easiest thing would be to add a newline to the list of non-matching
characters, like this: "\\(♩[^♩\n]+♩\\)". That won't match _anything_
that goes longer than one line, though -- is that what you want? I'm
actually not sure how to make the regexp match a specific number of
newlines without things getting much more complicated...
